I read a fair few reviews of Tori Amos's second album "Under the Pink", and none of them told me the important thing: that she was, mostly, a solo pianist. Hell, that she was a pianist.
A number of people told me about Ultraviolet when it was out. Nobody told me that it was a UK cop/spy drama (mostly), but with vampires. All my (geek) friends told me it was a cool thing about vampires - and I assumed it was a US thing.
The UK thing means a lot. First of all, the actors look interesting, and different. Secondly, they talk, and act, differently. They're not cookie-cutter California actors. Oh, and the thing is very well shot because you're dealing with UK crews.
Watched two episodes so far, and they look great.
